TAPANULI President Prabowo Subianto ordered the deployment of all national powers to accelerate the handling of emergency responses for floods and landslides in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. The instruction was delivered and coordinated directly by the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Pratikno during a field visit with the Head of BNPB in Central Tapanuli, South Tapanuli, and Sibolga on Sunday 30 November
Pratikno emphasized that the President's directive was the basis for massive mobilization across ministries, institutions, TNI, Polri, and local governments to ensure that aid arrived quickly and precisely for the affected communities.
"The President's order is that all national powers are deployed for the current emergency response stage to ease the burden on the community," said Pratikno.
He said that the relevant ministries and institutions were already at the disaster site to accelerate the recovery of access to electricity, land lane opening, and distribution of logistics by air and sea. These efforts were carried out together with the regional government, TNI, and Polri, which had been working since the first day of the disaster.
"This shows that all ministries and institutions are trying their best to mobilize the existing strength to help the community, together with the regional government, TNI, and Polri, who have been helping the community since the first day. We together with the Head of BNPB visited Central Tapanuli, South Tapanuli, and also Sibolga," explained Pratikno.
In addition to emergency handling, the government has begun to prepare the rehabilitation and reconstruction stages, including the provision of temporary shelters and permanent housing. This step is taken to ensure that people can recover quickly, return to their activities, and be better prepared to face disaster risks in the future.
